I don't think so. I believe the WDFW pays for it. But the question is where does that money come from.

OK, I googled up the answer. The money for eastern Washington pheasants comes from small game license fees.

--- Quote ---In 1997, the Legislature created the Eastern Washington Pheasant Enhancement Fund using a “surcharge” of $10 on eastern Washington pheasant hunters. Beginning in 1999 a simplified license system resulted in a single fee for small game hunters. The pheasant enhancement fund will be retained by dedicating a percentage of the small game license fees. It will be based on the number of eastern Washington pheasant hunters.

Did anyone really think this was going to increase the permits you draw for? I didn't. It gives me a chance to also hunt a cow elk and cow moose, being I'm in my mid 40's I put in for the males of the species because if I put in for cow I'll start all over for the bull tag. I think it is great! I'm looking forward to drawing a cow/doe of any species. We like eating venison every way you shoot it. I'm just bummed that I start with zero points for elk cause I drew last year and don't get the extra points for a cow tag. ( I don't expect any pity though) I'm looking forward to seeing if I draw something this year. I just think it may increase the amount of points it takes to draw alot of tags cause more people will put in for more tags is all. Just hope you don't draw for two different tags in one species cause you only get to shoot one. (unless it is for a second deer)

Oops! I meant for the last comment to be under the 2009-2010 permit draw comment.
